Yes, 12 weeks is a bad time for most to be looked at and weeded through. I do my first cuts on them early, general dq's and what looks the best at that age stays longer to grow out. Holland Lops can go through some pretty awful uglies, some that make you question if its even the same rabbit you decided to hold back as a picture perfect 6-8 week old. Usually about the 5-6 month mark they come out of it, then some will go through another period of "uglies" not as traumatic as the first usually though. Holland Lops, some not all, can take up to 2 or 2.5-3 years to fully mature head wise. Of course, if the genetics aren't there, not going to get that.
